Brezo Blanco 2020
Bordeaux-born Grégory Pérez worked at Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste and Château Cos d’Estournel before he moved to Spain. He settled down in Bierzo where he works vineyards in Espadillo. In this mountainous area soils are mostly clay and decomposed slate. His wines are made based on eight key principles: soil knowledge, biodiversity protection, indigenous grapes, no aggressive treatments, no herbicides, low yields, selection of grapes in the vineyard and traditional winemaking and aging. Young and expressive. Easy drinking, fruit driven, refreshing acidity. But besides being a wine for thirst, this is more than an entry level Godello. A lot of tipicity showed by pippin apples, stony character, slightly bitter at the end. Dry and serious.
